About us
NTNU Energy Transition provides world leading research on energy transition strategies to industry and government. Fact-based advice enables decision makers to gain competitive advantages and find efficient pathways to future energy systems.
Since the agreement on NTNU Energy Transition Initiative was signed in 2015, substantial effort has been put into establishing international collaboration with world leading experts. The initiative promotes collaboration between FME centres, international research projects, industry and policy.
We have gradually grown by incorporating a network of world class experts and attracting significant funding for very important research topics, including:
- Technological solutions and innovations
- Energy system optimization and scenario studies
- Economics and market design
- Framework and policy analysis
- Sustainable transition
- Human behavior and choice
- Innovation
The director of NTNU Energy Transition reports to the board and works closely with the management group on research related topics.
The board monitors NTNU Energy Transition's implementations and deliverables, assessing the compliance with the work plan and communication plan, along with revising and approving the plans themselves. The board also acts as a discussion partner for the director on strategic decisions.
